Definition
Plural of gyrocompass; multiple navigation instruments using spinning rotors to determine true north direction.
Etymology
Simple plural formation of gyrocompass. Modern ships and submarines carry redundant gyrocompasses as critical safety equipment.
Kelly Says
Modern ships use multiple gyrocompasses so that if one fails, the ship's navigation doesn't flip like a pancake—redundancy in spinning technology saves lives at sea!
